Of course we all know the best Seahawks Christmas Gift ever would be a Super Bowl trophy residing in the arms of Pete Carroll, Paul Allen, Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch, and the rest of the Seahwawks in a few weeks. There is a great possibility of that happening this year and for the next few years but isn’t a month an a half a long time to wait?

Yeah, of course we all want some new Seahawks jerseys or hats or sweatshirts and those make great gifts but don’t you want something more?

I came across a website today that can pretty much provide something no other website can. They will let you create your own dream experience with Marshawn Lynch. The site is IfOnly.com and what they do is provide some once in a lifetime experiences with professional athletes, actors, musicians, celebrity chefs, and more. You want a 15 minute chat with Olympian Summer Sanders? You can do that for $800. Do you want Chris Cornell’s custom Harley FXR? It is yours for $35,000. Do you want Tyler Florence to design your dream kitchen and cook you a meal? Whip out the AMEX and drop $45,000 your dream becomes a reality.

What is your dream experience with Marshawn Lynch?

But we want to talk about Marshawn. IfOnly.com has relationships with athletes and celebrities and partners up with them and their charities to put together these once in a lifetime experiences. The charity Marshawn Lynch partners with is the Family First Foundation which supports non-profits that promotes, supports and defends the natural family.

For the Minnesota Vikings game they were offering a VIP Gameday Experience which included a tour of the Seahawks training facility, the opportunity to attend a walkthrough practice, a private meet and greet with Marshawn, some autographs, tickets to the game, pre-game field passes, and more.

Since that game is passed that offer is no longer on the table but the thing I found interesting is they allow you to create your own dream experience. You can submit your idea and your offer and IfOnly.com will try to make it happen. Obviously if you suggest something crazy like ride on the team charter to the Super Bowl and hang out in the locker room with the team and bid $500 there is no chance it will be accepted. But since this is benefiting charity I am guessing if you could come up with a reasonable dream experience and be willing to pay quite a bit for it there is a chance it could happen.

So what would your dream experience with Marshawn Lynch look like? Here are a couple ideas I had:

1. Attend Marshawn Lynch’s youth football camps he puts on in Oakland – Marshawn gets a bad rap from some people but he spends a ton of time pouring into the youth in the Oakland area. Wouldn’t it be fun to see him in that type of environment?

2. Get a custom grill with Marshawn

3. I think it would be awesome just to have him over to the house for a bbq some summer afternoon. Just a few hours to hang with him by the pool, eat some ribs, toss back a few bags of skittles…

4. Speaking of Skittles, how about getting him to autograph a bag for you. Seems like $1000 could make that happen.

5. Maybe spend a day with him at training camp, get to be on the practice fields, have a meal with the team in the cafeteria, and lift weights with Marshawn.

6. Go Beast Mode on some fish out on the boat

7. Take a ride in Marshawn’s new Lamborghini Aventador

What would you do if you could have a dream experience with Marshawn Lynch and the Seahawks? Go to the Marshawn Lynch page on IfOnly.com and submit your idea. You never know what will be accepted. You can also just submit a message to be hand delivered to Marshawn. How cool is that? So take a minute and send Marshawn a message and submit your idea. If accepted it could be the best Seahawks Christmas Gift ever for someone.

After 32 years of living in Spokane I packed up my family and moved to Jacksonville a month ago. Why Jacksonville? Well, truth be told it is probably one of the last places I would choose to go. Florida has never been on my list of favorite places but there is a company here I […]

In the past finding a good selection of Seattle Seahawks jerseys online has been tough. Since they are generally a forgotten team in this league the jersey manufacturers were not exactly tripping over themselves to put out new Seahawks jerseys. That all changed last April when the new Seahawks jerseys were released. Seattle was Nike’s […]

We all know how awesome last season was. The excitement that Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch, Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, Pete Carroll, and the rest of the Seahawks brought to the 12th Man was like nothing we had ever seen before. Going into this offseason the expectations were sky high for this Seahawks team but after […]

One thing I love about football and sports in general is the applied mathematics involved. Percentages, probabilities, averages, and all that come into play. I am by no means a math genius but I do like crunching numbers and seeing how they play out. That is one reason I like looking at sites like Football Outsiders. They […]

The temperature is dropping and Seahawks fans everywhere are wanting to bundle up and stay warm this winter. Whether it is lying on the couch watching the game, at the stadium or a tailgate, or just curling up in front of the tree sipping cocoa there are few gifts that will make a Seahawks fan […]

8-5, an inside track to the playoffs, an outside chance at a first round bye in the playoffs and even a crazy, need everything to fall in place chance at the #1 seed in the NFC. The whole team is obviously a part of this impressive season but there are few players in the league […]
